Book Summary
Chelsea Knot can't keep a secret to save her life until the last secret she spills sends her on a vow of silence. She goes from being the best friend of Popular girl Kristen, to the girl hated by almost everyone in her school.
Chelsea Knot- Her character in the start of the book was immature and I wanted to give up on reading the book because I couldn't stand a character who was completely selfish. I decided to give her character a chance to redeem herself (which she does). Her character in the beginning is what a typical popular character is like, selfish and mean. Towards the end of the book she learns to become a better person.
Kristen-I hated her character throughout the whole book. Even towards the end I wanted to punch her because she is the stuck up girl that doesn't think of anyone but herself. (I never got along with her type in high school.)
Sam-He is my favorite character throughout the book. He is the type of friend, I wish I had. I admired how even though Chelsea gossiped about his best friend's secret, that he still decided to befriend her. At first he was wary of befriending Chelsea which is understandable.
Asha- Her character is the most selfless of them all as she takes Chelsea Knot as a friend despite the things she has done. She isn't popular but, she has a heart of gold.
Noah-We don't really get to see much of his character throughout the book. I did enjoy the parts he is in though.
Andy-I enjoyed his character. I wish we could of seen more of him throughout the story. At first he isn't really nice to Chelsea because of what happened to Noah because of her. I understood his pain and felt sorry about what happened. Towards the end we get to see what a great character he is.
At first when I started Speechless, I wasn't sure I would enjoy it. I read Hannah Harrington's Saving June and fell in love with that book. After the whole drama played out, the main character became likable to me. I really enjoyed this book and love Hannah Harrington's writing style. I loved the concept the author came up with about someone deciding to become mute after spreading a secret went wrong, I think she did a brilliant job portraying it in this book.
